Google Maps of Your Facebook Friends

MapMyFriendsMapMyFriends lets you view all your Facebook friends on a Google Map.

To create a map of your Facebook friends all you need to do is sign in to the map with your Facebook account and your friend map is created automatically. The map uses the Facebook profile pictures of your friends to indicate their location.

If you click on any of the mapped profile pictures you can click through to visit that friend's Facebook profile.

On installing this application to Facebook you are presented with a Google Map displaying your friends' locations indicated by their profile picture. Under the map there is a series of tables informing you about how many of your friends are male or female, how many are single or in a relationship and how many of your friends are conservative and how many are liberal etc.

The application gives you a good overview of the geography of your Facebook network, as well as an insight into its political, religious and relationship leanings.
